[N64] N64DD Mouse capture not functioning properly on macOS

[eisnerguy1]

Describe the bug
Mouse capture also really doesn't do anything as I'm still able to move my mouse cursor beyond the bounds of the game window in ares. The issue exists for any N64DD games that use the mouse.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Attempt to run an N64DD game that uses the Mouse
2. Make sure that a Gamepad is in Port 1 and Mouse is in Port 2
3. You'll see that mouse capture is not functioning as it should

Expected behavior
The host mouse cursor should not be active or visible & should be locked to the window.

Screenshots

Additional context
I'm running macOS Sequoia 15.5 on an M3 Max MacBook Pro with 128GB of RAM.

Sorry, the known issue was Windows specific.

Can you be more specific? Is the system not capturing your mouse inputs whatsoever, or is it that there is an issue with the way mouse inputs are being registered or the behavior of the host cursor while the guest is receiving mouse input?

[eisnerguy1]

Sorry, let me try and explain it a bit more. Even after capturing the mouse, with the selected hotkey, I can still move the OS mouse cursor beyond the game window in ares. Is that how it's supposed to function? If so, then please disregard this bug report. I always kinda thought mouse capture should lock the mouse within the bounds of the game window within ares.

Yes, sure, I certainly think that is a reasonable issue report and not desired behavior. I would adjust the wording of the OP to make that a bit more clear though. i.e. instead of "mouse capture should actually work", instead "the host mouse cursor should not be active or visible/should be locked to the window/other desired behavior".

That's a good idea. I'll update the wording of the OP now. Thanks :)

I'm having the same issue on windows.

I'm having the same issue on windows.

There is a known issue with mouse capture in v145 on Windows. A fix has been submitted to the main branch, which also includes a fix for N64 save states. You can download the latest nightly build here (scroll to bottom):

I tried that build and mouse capture still is broken on macOS :(
